Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has again criticized President Goodluck Jonathan saying that because of his inaction, the Chibok Girls will never be rescued.
Obasanjo also spoke about his book saying that everything he has written about Jonathan, he has also said to him face-to-face.
The former President stated this and more during an interview with Rosie Collyer of Radio France Internationale (RFI)

Excerpts below:

RC: Why have you chosen to publish your autobiography now, when Nigeria is politically charged ahead of February's general election?

OO: You used the word politically charged. There is no time Nigeria is not politically charged. One thing one can say about Nigeria is, since independence we have had some high ebbs or low ebbs but Nigeria has been very, very politically active. So the question of which is the opportune time or auspicious time for a book to be published, it is entirely up to the publisher and of course the reading public.

I completed writing the book, which took me about 18 months, about four months ago and I gave it to the publisher. And the publisher decided that after reading the book that he would like to publish it before the elections.

RC: Who is Buruji Kashamu and why do you mention him in your autobiography?

OO: He is someone who has been indicted in America […] And for a political party and for the president to be hobnobbing with him I believe leaves much to be desired, and I said that [in my autobiography].

RC: You are apparently critical of President Goodluck Jonathan in your autobiography. Why?

OO: Whatever I have said in my book, I have said it to President Jonathan one-on-one. I have said it in public statements that I have made over the past two or three years. So there is nothing in my book that is new that I have said about President Jonathan.

RC: One area where you have criticised President Jonathan is his handling of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls. What advice did you give the president?

OO: It is unfortunate. What I have said to Jonathan before and what I have said also in my letter - and I have said it several times - is that, once active and concrete action was not taken within 48 hours, a period of 72 hours was already too late. We will never be able to get those girls again. And the story of those girls will go on for the next 30 years. Some of them will come out when they are adults or they will be sent back when they are pregnant by those who have captured them. If anyone is thinking of being able to get those girls released intact, he must be day dreaming.

RC: Your autobiography is called My Watch in reference to your presidencies. What were you most proud of during your time as president?

OO: Well what was I proud of, is when I came in [as president] many people thought that I would be the last president of Nigeria, because after me Nigeria will be no more. I was proud that I was not the last president of Nigeria because after me there have been two presidents and there will always be presidents of Nigeria and Nigeria will continue to exist.
And then, of course, we fought corruption.

RC: Can you give some examples of corrupt people who faced justice?

OO: Oh yes, we took an inspector general of police to court. We took the president of the Senate to court. We took my minister for secondary schools and my minister of internal affairs to court. We took a few permanent secretaries to court. And we took a few governors to court.
And then of course we recovered well over 1.25 billion dollars from the Abacha family.

RC: Could you have done more to fight corruption?

OO: No, I did all that could be done. Fighting corruption is not a one-day affair or a one-night affair, it must be continuous.

Another blabbing.

#bringbackourgirls

In spite of his corrupt tendencies and large mouth, Obasanjo is arguably a better leader than clueless, self-serving, woman-controlled Goodluck Jonathan. Obasanjo had more spine and greater will to tackle Nigeria's evils. They might have caged him, and yes, they did a bit. But Obasanjo probably did better and can still do better than hopeless Jonathan whose wife is probably milking Nigeria's treasury dry as we speak.

Unfortunately, This may be the bitter truth.

obasanjo<<<<<<hypocrite

Obasanjo may nt be a saint. But he preferred to the clueless nebujonathan

Buhari can get the Chibok girls back but he is reticent because he is an irredentist.

professor, take am easy

If you look at the present security situation you would give credit to OBJ, because if he is the one in power this wouldn't have happened, and its painful when something you knew you can handle better and you have no access/power to do it, i think this is the cry by OBJ, and such is normal in human circle just like what happened when Super Eagle lost out of Africa cup of Nation, you need to see the mind of those in the bench who believed they would have done it better if they were given the chance

Now, considering the time frame OBJ talked about its very disappointing that they allowed the time to elapse and did not consult former presidents if they don't actually know what to do, also you will blame this government because it took them toomuch time to understand the weaponry strength of BH, sending soldiers with rifle to face BH that are using RPG and other high caliber military hardware, is that not suicide mission? God!

Also some Northern leaders like Nyanko were not helping matters when he wrote to his colleagues alleged that the President was upto something negative, such allegations could lead to having a rethink and possibly reduce the level of action anybody would have like to take in such situation.

If people are missing then they would be relaxing somewhere in town and not in a forest.

US drones couldn't sight them in Sambisa?.
Nigeria military operations couldn't find them in sambisa?
And satellite scan couldn't sight them?

Some are already dead.
Some will return with pregnant.
Some will return as a psycho patient
Some will return as serial killer
While some will return and become a wall flower.



Jonathan may God reward you of where you lead Nigeria to.

OBJ is gradually running mad ...........





he that the gods will kill would first run mad.

Dat man called obasanjo is a son of a dog! Fvcck him!

If truly the girls were really abducted, i am sure the girls would have been sexually molested as many times as possible. Infact some of them would have become pregnant and might have been delivered of it. Meaning they should not be addressed as chibok girls anymore, but Chibok women or mothers. Its just a pity.

Because his 'divide & rule' tactic is not working

He is just trying different methods, but they are not working for him...!
